2.3.3.2 Object Alignment

With the Alignment options, you can align several objects horizontally or vertically, or distribute them evenly along a selected axis. The aligned objects do not have to be of the same type and do not have to have the same dimension.

Align Objects

1. Select objects to be aligned together either in the Graphic Viewer or in one of the trees.
2. Select Layout > Alignment from the menu bar and choose the axis along which the selected objects should be align.
3. The axis location of the last selected object determines where the objects will be positioned along the selected axis.

Distribute Object Alignments

1. Select objects to be aligned together either in the Graphic Viewer or in one of the trees.
2. Select Layout > Alignment from the menu bar and choose the axis along which the selected objects should be distributed.
3. The distances between each object is determined by the position values of each of the selected objects. When you want to distribute objects, the highest and lowest values of the selected axis are added and then divided by the number of objects to be distributed to determine where the objects will be positioned along the axis.
